Lets Talk Colors.

Colors has the single greatest impact on a design plan. Interior design colors affects the perceptions and feelings we have within our household surrounding. Its more than just visual stimulation.

So lets look at some colors.

Warm Colors


RED

Associated with passion, heat and energy.
This color is very bold in its pure form. It can be very elegant and add a lot of character to a color scheme – both traditional and contemporary.



ORANGE

Associated with vitality, activity and adventure in Color Psychology.
 It is believed to have healing qualities and is supportive of the immune system. When used in its more muted shade it can be less overwhelming. Pure orange may work well in a contemporary setting but often doesn't sit well in a traditional one where a more muted form works better.



YELLOW

Associated with cheerfulness and sunshine. In its pure form yellow can be overwhelming, this is because it requires the most complex visual processing by our eyes. Its lighter tints, however, can look clean and fresh. As an accent color, yellow can provide a nice level of pop in a design scheme.

Cool Colors.


PURPLE

Because of its position on the color wheel where warm and cool meet, its bias towards red or blue will determine its degree of coolness therefore its associated with tranquility.
 With red undertones it takes on warmer characteristics than when the undertones lean more toward blue. Some tones of violet can be quite intense, but pastel lavenders can give a very fresh, uplifting feel to a room.



BLUE

 It is the favorite color of millions of people. Blue can easily be paired with many other colors and is therefore a common choice in acolor scheme. It is associated with calm, trust and sensitivity.



GREEN

Green is very versatile in working with other colors as it is in nature. It can be strongly traditional in feel or even a bit contemporary, as in the case of its more acidic forms. When designing, consider using a splash of red from the opposite side of the color wheel to create a dramatic accent for a green based color scheme. It is associated with nature, relaxation and rest.
